Ok, so you have a function to make a part, for example:
function make()
local x = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
--stuff to make it nice
end
And now, lets say that we want to edit it later in a script.
make()
wait(5)
workspace.Part:remove()
Well, how do we know what part it is? We can't do workspace.Part, because there might be other parts there, and that wouldn't be a good thing, removing the wrong part. So lets add a return:
function make()
local x = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
--stuff to make it nice
return x
end
What this allows us to do is it allows us to store what we return in a variable, like this:
local b = make()
wait(5)
b:remove()
You can also return multiple things:
function make()
local x = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
--stuff to make it nice
local y = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
--stuff to make it nice
local z = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
--stuff to make it nice
return x,y,z
end
local a,b,c = make()
wait(5)
a:remove()
b:remove()
c:remove()
It's returns a value. So if you were to do:
myname = Hello("war8989")
print(myname)
It'd print "war8989".
